That riffle just keeps getting better with every shot Dundee :thumbsup:
Another hefty roo from last night. Mate tweaked the trigger on his wee ruger for a significant improvement. A very well sorted package now, performing very nicely.

Bad for the farmer but good for me because i love rabbit :thumbsup: got 12 possums in all, probably could have gotten a lot more but we were just cruising it.

Maybe google will enlighten me... 5 mins later, nope. Ask the wife. Wife, any idea what this means? Nope, she continues ignoring me, shakes head. Ask the dog. Dog doesn’t answer. I remain in the dark.

New Savage A22 up and running and proving another option to Ruger and Marlin. Time will tell if it's as reliable and durable as the other two but it accurate.Attachment 92899 47 shot yesterday.
@viper, were all 47 shot with the new Savage? Would be very interesting if you could maybe let us know a bit more about what you like / don’t like about this rifle.
@Flyblown , yep all 47 shot with the Savage. I will do a write up on the rifle in 4 - 6 months time after a spring / summer of hard use. Initial thoughts are positive overall but it will be interesting to see how it performs long term.
I shot another magpie today with the old trusty .22lr stirling.And nah it wasn't a fluke cause I was shooting at it and the wife witnessed the shot.
4x32 scope...no wind.:D

I hope it was a one shot kill through the head :fire:Quote:
